Question

California passed a law mandating representation from
women on corporate boards. By the end of 2019, public
companies based in the state had to have at least one
female director, with more female directors required by
2021, depending on the size of the board. California is
the first state to set such quotas. Women hold 20% of
board seats among the 3,000 most valuable publicly
traded companies in the U.S. according to executive
data collection and analysis firm Equilar.

Answer 1

Here are the correct choices for each question:

1. As baby boomers age, the demands placed on the country’s health care system are increasing.
- **C boomers’** (This indicates that the demands belong to the baby boomers, so the plural possessive is correct.)

2. He often help older adults who need assistance.
- **B They** (Correcting "help" to "helps" would also be necessary for grammatical accuracy, but among the provided options, "They" is the only appropriate choice.)

3. Choose the correct spelling.
- **A succeeded** (This is the correct spelling of the word.)

4. Choose the correct punctuation.
- **D correct as is** (The punctuation "U.S." is correct as is, with the period being necessary for the abbreviation.)

So the final answers are:
1. C boomers’
2. B They
3. A succeeded
4. D correct as is
